I’ll say that again in case, like me, you didn’t quite believe your ears. The total … More Reason to Hope

“As the crow flies…” is a common saying, which means “to travel in a straight line” instead of taking all the bends and detours of a road. This is used when giving directions to strangers/lost motorists. The phrase offers hope of a short journey, but does not always take account of the reality of the … More Learn from the Crow- Look, See, Pray

Wassup? Lk 24
April 17, 2023
After a wonderful two weeks of no lessons, daughters home from uni and my own body-weight in chocolate, it’s back to normality today. But let’s not be like the disciples who returned to fishing after the resurrection, or the un-named pair on the road to Emmaus who thought the wonderful dream was all over. Sure … More Wassup? Lk 24
